A member asked:

Took medrol (methylprednisolone) pack for gouty arthritis. better but 3 finger tips on each hand are numb and tingling. normal for gout?

Side effect: One of the common side effect of solumedrol (methylprednisolone) is parasthesia. That is what you seem to be experiencing at the tip of your fingers. Numbness and tingling.
